David Byrne’s “The New Sins” was shown by Dave Eggers at Voice02 and also poster-sized versions of the layouts were dotted around Circular Quay in Sydney Harbour over the new year.

This from Rick Poynor’s review of the tome in the current issue of “Eye” Magazine.

“Byrne has made astute use of graphic design, but that doesn’t stop him consigning designers, along with website managers and relief workers, to the upper levels of hell. ‘Their crime? Hubris. Their punishment? Equality. Everyone looks cool, fashionable and absolutely identical – well-dressed, handsome and completely boring. Everything is perfect and unbearable.”
